In 2023, the facility achieved 100% wind-powered electrical generation and operates methane capture from wastewater lagoons as part of its environmental sustainability program.

STF's business model is pork processing and wholesale/retail product sales under its proprietary and licensed brands, supplemented by branded marketing through its website and social channels. The company is currently hiring across production, technical, and managerial roles, with wages starting at $21.60/hour. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company is led by Vice President & General Manager Frank Koekkoek Jr. and Vice President of Human Resources Deanna Wiedner, and maintains compliance with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act. Notable regulatory exposure includes U.S. Department of Labor findings of child labor violations by sanitation contractors (Qvest LLC, Fayette Janitorial Services) operating at the facility between 2019 and 2023.
